California Poppies

I've heard that you can obtain an opiate type high from smoking dried California Poppy leaves. I live in California and nearly every yard here has some growin' so I could obtain ounces of them within minutes. Has anyone ever had any experience with them? I picked some the other day so I guess it wouldn't hurt to try 'em, but I'd enjoy some feedback first.

 

I dont think there's anything in california poppies, but you can buy somniferious poppy seeds almost anywhere, in fact I once bought a bag of poppy seeds for cooking ie.baking. I presumed they would be sterile but threw a handful into some soil raked im in watered, and damed if some didnt come up, not really a pretty flower,white with black at base, but they did produce lots of resin after the petals had dropped and the seed capsule swelled.

We live in AZ and in Feb and Mar there was lot of them growing because of all the rain. We went out and picked about a shopping bag worth of them, dried the flowers, and then smoked them. The feeling is mild and is just a pleasant calm feeling. The feeling was also obtained from eating one of the flowers after we picked them.

 

Well in that case, I think I shall go out and pick some to try. And I think I'll try extracting some, too.

 

Its not so much that they have a lesser alk content, its that the alk present isn't as potent. I don't even believe its converted to morphine in the brain
